The atmosphere suddenly became quiet.
Huang Wei put down the teacup in his hand and looked at Bai Jiajia with Xu Jia.
"I'm not sure if it's true or not, but this time Milord is testing the other party. If possible, we'll do our best to injure the other party. The failure of the other party some time ago seems to have caused the other party to suffer heavy injuries." Bai Jiajia walked with light steps and sat directly opposite them.
However, the chair was relatively wide. After sitting on it, her two slender legs could only hang in the air. She looked at the two people in front of her with a smile on her face. She looked innocent like a young girl, but the other person opposite her felt terrified.
"With Lord taking action, the other party definitely won't have time to come out. If that's the case, we can defend the Sighing Plains. Maybe we can even take it back." Xu Jia's eyes lit up.
"I was just about to talk about this. Some time ago, we had a lot of disputes with them and we lost more than we won. This time, the other party is not willing to let us have the Sighing Plains. They've already sent some backup troops and a few Silver Ghost Generals. This time, we'll all go over and leave True Jade here to take charge." Bai Jiajia said seriously.
"They can't be that ruthless. Aren't they afraid of losing Silver Ghost Generals? You should know that the strength of the other party is greatly reduced after leaving their range." Huang Wei drank the tea in his hand and said in disbelief.
"Who knows? This time, I'm here to inform you to put down what you're doing. Three days later, we'll set off with some soldiers and have a final battle with the other party. If we can inflict heavy damage to the other party's puppet army, they'll need a lot of time to gather so many more. This time, we'll have enough time to excavate enough soul crystals in the Sighing Plains. After that, we can ask Lord to recruit more people. This way, we'll have less pressure on us."
Bai Jiajia jumped down from the chair and walked outside.
"I have to inform the other two. Don't forget, we'll gather here three days later."
After saying that, Bai Jiajia's figure disappeared.
"Sigh, I've been exhausted all this time. I can't rest even if I want to. No, I have to make arrangements for Jade True. I can sense a small group of Demonic Souls outside. Although this place is protected by the Lord, and the Demonic Soul's strength is greatly reduced, and there are also elite guards guarding it, why do I feel uneasy?"
Huang Wei also stood up and said.
"You're making a big fuss over nothing. It's not like the other party can sneak in. As time goes on, they'll die anyway. With those guards, it's more than enough. After so many years, they'll have to break in a few times. It's not like there won't be any problems. I'm going down too.
Xu Jia stretched his back and said nonchalantly.
Those Demonic Souls had been trying to disturb him. Every once in a while, they would try to disturb him. However, the scale of their disturbances was not large, and they were not effective at all.
This was also the reason why there were guards everywhere. They were not there to deal with the bandits.
Furthermore, once the Goblin Soul appeared, the patrol team outside would immediately gather together. Of course, this included Huang Wei and True Jade, who could replace him at any time. They would do their best to stifle the Goblin Soul's movements.
Generally speaking, so far, the other side had only been making small skirmishes and couldn't do anything to them.
"It's better to be careful. This trip will be a lot easier. I'll talk later, I'm going back."
After they left, the place regained its peace.
.....
At a place near the northern part of the city, Gu Zheng and Xu Jia had already arrived outside a house.
However, the house in front of them had been set up with restrictions, and they could not sneak in at all.
In other words, in the northern part of the city, almost every house had restrictions. Although they were just warnings, it was clear that these people were very suspicious. Of course, their cultivation was not weak either.
The subtext was that most of these people were bandits. Very few of them were frontline soldiers or worked in other places.
Gu Zheng pointed inside, indicating that the other party was inside.
Yan Yufei nodded knowingly, then hid with him and watched as Gu Zheng started to break the other party's warning formation.
Although the restriction set up by the other party was exquisite, in the face of absolute strength, there were still countless flaws. In just a short while, a small gap appeared on one side, and it maintained the same appearance as before. The people inside did not notice it at all.
Gu Zheng was not very proud. Bullying a mere Jin Xian Middle-stage was nothing to be proud of.
After the two of them sneaked in, he even patched up the gap behind. At least it looked similar to before. If one did not look carefully, they would not be able to tell at all.
This room was only made up of two rooms. The basic space was very small, not even a quarter of the size of the eastern part of the city.
As soon as they entered, they hid in another empty room, which was enough for them to observe each other.
Even if it was Yan Yufei, it would be very easy for him to spy on the other party now.
Although Gu Zheng was not clear about her strength, he could vaguely sense the threat in her heart. She was at least a level higher than him.
In the other party's room, the man who sold the streamer to Gu Zheng had already recovered his original appearance. He was indeed a rather delicate man, fair and tender. At first glance, he could even be mistaken as a woman.
Opposite him was a big man with a face full of curly beard. He was burly, and there were obvious signs of wind and frost on his body. His aura was clearly superior to the other man's.
The big man was clearly giving the other man some orders, and the other man kept nodding.
"I feel that someone is spying on us."
Just when Gu Zheng was observing this side, the man suddenly raised his head in confusion, then looked around and even scanned his entire room. He did not find anything, then he opened his mouth.
"Someone? Come out with me to check. "
The big man's face changed when he heard this, then he immediately said.
The two of them rushed out of the room and came outside almost instantly.
The man went to the roof, checking whether there was anyone around, and checking the restriction he set up.
"Clang!"
The empty room next to him was instantly opened by the big man, but it was empty, and there was no one inside.
The big man also quickly scanned the room, and there was also no abnormality. Then he pointed his hand forward, and a special wave instantly enveloped the whole room, but after a few breaths, there was still no discovery.
If there was really someone, the other party had nowhere to hide except in this room.
At this time, the man also came back from the outside. Facing the big man's question, he slowly shook his head, indicating that everything was normal on his side.
"Strange, are you sure you didn't feel wrong?" The big man was also puzzled, and he repeatedly confirmed.
"Of course, everything was fine before, but suddenly I felt that someone was looking at me. You know that I have a keen sense and some talent. Could it be that the official noticed?"
As he spoke, his face became pale, as if he had thought of something terrible, and his body began to tremble.
"Impossible, maybe you are too nervous. Come back with me in a while, and come back when the time is right." The big man directly denied it, and then comforted the other party.
"If it is really the official, how can we still be here? But you have to be careful, I will test it out, you protect yourself."
After the burly man saw that the man had set up a barrier, spots of red light appeared in his hand. Countless red spots the size of dust emerged from his palm and quickly spread out in all directions. Soon, the entire house was covered with red spots. If it wasn't for the restriction outside, most of the people in the northern part of the city would have discovered the abnormality.
"It seems that you are hallucinating, don't stay here, I originally wanted you to obediently receive the other party, but now come with me to the west city."
The big man withdrew the red light like a tide, and after thinking for a while, he said this.
"Thank you, sir." The man immediately cupped his hands and thanked him.
"It's all work, don't worry, after it is done, the thing on you will definitely be released, and at the same time, I will send you back to the Untainted Land." The big man casually said a few words, and then stopped talking.
After that, they went back, and after the man packed up some things, they directly opened a hole and quickly left.
Before leaving, they even set up a small trick inside. If someone really came to check, they would think that they were resting inside.
After the man had completely left, Gu Zheng and Yan Yufei's figures slowly appeared outside the room.
When they had first entered, they had indeed been inside. The other party's seemingly foolproof method had not been able to discover them at all. However, when the man had barged in and seen the light in the man's eyes, Gu Zheng and Yan Yufei had left the room together. They had used the exit they had left behind earlier to hide outside.
Later on, the man investigated without any blind spots, and they could not hide their figures. Fortunately, they came out quickly, and were not discovered by the man.
They did not expect that the man would be so sharp that even Gu Zheng and Yan Yufei could detect a trace of them, and they were almost discovered by the man.
"Are we still going to chase after him?" Yan Yufei continued to ask.
They were discovered before they could hear anything, but from the man's words, they knew that the man was definitely plotting something, otherwise, he would not be so sneaky and even afraid of the people here.
"Let's not go today, we have already alerted the enemy, and the man must be on guard. Let's wait for a few days, I will leave a trace on him, as long as it is not too far away. There should be no problem," Gu Zheng said slowly.
Yan Yufei nodded, whatever Gu Zheng wanted to do, she would just follow. After all, she just came out to relax.
After that, Gu Zheng and Yan Yufei returned to Tie Tou's residence, and Gu Zheng's previous message had been received by the man, and Tie Tou even left a message.
He just told Gu Zheng that he had gone to the front line, and let him stay here.
This was the only thing he could do to help.
After making sure that Yan Yufei was fine here, Gu Zheng did not let her return to the Jade Dragon Space, but let her rest in another room. There was no danger now, and the man was not used to this place, so he simply stayed outside. Of course, if there was any danger, he would definitely let Yan Yufei return.
Gu Zheng returned to his room and checked his body.
Although the black dragon had a fleshly body now, it would still take some time for it to fuse perfectly. It was now sleeping quietly in the bottle that he had created.
There was no problem with the Li Bracelet in his hand and the five jade bracelets. They were the most important fighting force in his hand, and of course, he could not underestimate them.
As for the kitten, who had turned into a golden ball, he could not wake it up at the moment, but he could clearly feel that it was still recuperating, and its injuries seemed to be more serious than he had imagined.
After a general check, Gu Zheng was relieved. Then, with a thought, a little flame suddenly burst out from the Li Bracelet, and in the next moment, it transformed into a little bird full of spiritual energy, floating in front of Gu Zheng.
As he stretched out his hand, the little bird landed and rubbed against his palm intimately.
As the Li Bracelet grew stronger, Gu Zheng could feel that it was not ordinary. Of course, he was also thinking about the identity of the woman who was once imprisoned in the depths, and why would she give this to him?
It was a pity that his cultivation base was too low at that time, and he did not know what happened to her after that. He thought of the possibility that she was an enemy, and in order to protect him, she had sunk into the depths together with the woman.
At that time, he thought that it was just a powerful magical treasure, but as his strength increased, he realized that the power of the Li Bracelet was also increasing. He thought that he had completely mastered it, but in fact, there were still some secrets hidden in the depths of the Li Bracelet.
But it did not affect the connection between him and the other party, which was strange.
After a brief check, Gu Zheng shook his head. It was fine as long as it did not affect him. Perhaps he would know about it in the future.
Gu Zheng stretched out his other hand and gently stroked the little bird's head. Then, the little bird turned into faint sparks and scattered in the air. The sparks that filled the sky did not splatter everywhere, but instead, they wrapped around Gu Zheng's right arm.
The Li Bracelet itself was also wrapped up, and traces of seven-colored patterns flickered and rose from the depths of the Li Bracelet.
The Cleansing Glass Fire began to condense.
Even if it consumed Gu Zheng's mana, he felt that it was worth it. He could not even fully unleash the power of the Li Bracelet, so everything was worth it.
Gu Zheng was looking forward to when the Cleansing Glass Fire came out. At that time, it would probably become one of his most powerful trump cards.
After doing all this, Gu Zheng adjusted his breathing for a while, then got up, took the waist token that he was proud of, and prepared to make a trip to the official office in the East City.
After calling Yan Yufei out, he hurriedly left.
The outside was still cold and cheerless. In his perception, it seemed that the entire East City had become a dead city. There was not a single person at all. It was only when he approached the office on the lonely peak that he felt a little bit of life.
In the huge stone hall, there were less than ten people. Half of them were personnel on duty here. It was far less bustling than the South City. The room there was twice as big as this one, and there were dozens of personnel on duty.
When Gu Zheng walked in, he immediately attracted everyone's attention. After all, they were unfamiliar faces.
"Are you here to join the army?"
Before Gu Zheng could speak, a man in a black uniform walked over with a smile.
In his opinion, the two of them should be unaffiliated people. It was normal for them to wait until now to join the battle. This was because there were people here from time to time who requested to go to the front line to fight for better treatment.
"No, I want a map." Gu Zheng looked at the man's enthusiastic gaze, shook his head, and directly stated his purpose.
"I see. We can only sell you this kind of ordinary place. We have a rough idea of the surrounding situation." Although the man was a little disappointed, he still enthusiastically led Gu Zheng to the side. At the same time, he took out a map from inside.
Anyway, it was just a simple map and was not worth much. It did not matter if the other party remembered it or not since he had seen it in advance.
Gu Zheng looked at the map that was spread out half of the table. It had a rough idea of the nearby landforms. The farthest place was the Soul Stone Mine that used to be Pomelo. There was even the location of the Sighing Plains. It was described in red, indicating that it was extremely dangerous.
Some places where bandits often appeared were also marked. It was very considerate.
Although it looked detailed, it was just a simple concept map. At least, it would be difficult to get lost within the range of this map.
However, Gu Zheng was a little disappointed. He did not want a map of the nearby area, but a rough map of the entire Black Dungeon. However, when he thought of what Ironhead said, it was obvious that this kind of map was not available to ordinary people.
"I want a more advanced map. How can I get it?" Gu Zheng turned his gaze to the man and asked directly.
"We also have that kind of map, but they are all in the hands of the manager. Only the manager has the authority to give it to the manager. I can't make the decision." The man knew that Lin Huang had come prepared. He carefully put away the map in his hand and smiled bitterly.
"I understand. But I want one. How can I get it from the manager?" Gu Zheng understood and asked again.
"If you want to get it, it can be said to be simple, but it can also be said to be difficult."
Before the man could answer, a loud voice came from outside and answered on his behalf.
"Manager Huang!"
The surrounding people greeted him one after another.
Gu Zheng looked in the direction of the voice and found that it was the manager whom he had met once. He did not expect the other party to be in charge of this place.
"May I ask Manager Huang what can I do to get it?" Gu Zheng cupped his hands as a greeting and asked impatiently.
"You also know the importance of that thing. To be honest, except for absolute trust, it can't be leaked. After all, we collected it bit by bit, and there are even more detailed notes on it. In fact, other than the few of us in the upper echelon, no one has leaked it because only absolute trust can be given to the manager."
"Manager Huang, I understand this point. But I really need it. How can I get it?" Gu Zheng naturally understood and asked sincerely.
"If you really want it, there's a very good opportunity now. Since you're quite strong, and we're about to head to the frontlines, you can take over my position and guard the Lone Peak Four Cities. If everything goes well when we return, I'll give you the map."
Manager Huang spoke slowly, causing quite a lot of shock.
"Manager Huang, the other party is a new face." The man beside him revealed a shocked expression, but after the shock, he still dutifully advised.
Needless to say, everyone knew how important this position was. But if it was appointed so easily, once they went to the front line and the other party wanted to do something, who could stop him?
Even Gu Zheng was stunned by the other party's bold idea.
It was true!
At first, he thought that the other party wanted him to go to the front line to help fight. After all, the blood of the enemy was the best proof. In the end, the important task of guarding the home was pushed aside.
Even he thought that the other party was testing him to achieve some goal. After all, it was his first time here.
For a moment, everyone fell silent.
